195 | Still Using Treat Rewards? Why Your Dog Training Isn’t Sticking (And What to Do Instead)”
Hey Dog Lover!🐾 Are you doing all the “right” training things… but something still feels off? Does your dog only seem engaged when there’s something in it for them? Have you ever wondered why the behaviour doesn’t seem to stick long-term? In this episode, I’m sharing the difference between rewarding and celebrating so you can move beyond transactional training and start building true connection with your dog. We dive into how one approach builds behaviour… while the other builds belief, trust, and confidence — especially for fearful or reactive dogs. Hope you enjoy this one!
